Yes because 72 can be divisible by 2 and 72/2 is 36

Yes, any number that you can divide 72 by without creating an irrational number answer is a factor of 72. Therefore, since when we divide 72 by 2, we get 36, which is a whole number and therefore satisfies the criteria.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 m. The width of the rectangle is 16 m. What is the area of the rectangle?

liq [111]

Answer:

320m

Step-by-step explanation

a rectangle has four sides, two pairs of identical sides. So two sides are 16. So that adds up to 32. Perimeter is all sides added together. so it has to add up to 72. 72 minus 32 is 40, so two of the sides have to be 40. Area is length times width, so 16 times 20, which is 320.

Complete the recursive formula of the geometric sequence 16\,,\,3.2\,,\,0.64\,,\,0.128,...16,3.2,0.64,0.128,

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$a_{n+1}=0.2a_n$ for all n>0, $a_1=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\{a_n\}=\{16,3.2,0.64,0.128,\cdots \}$ be the sequence described.

A geometric sequence has the following property: there exists some r (the ratio of the sequence) such that $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r$ forr all n>0.

To find r, note that

$\frac{3.2}{16}=\frac{32}{10(16)}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

Similarly

$\frac{0.64}{3.2}=\frac{64}{10(32)}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

$\frac{0.128}{0.64}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

Thus $a_{n+1}=r a_n=\frac{a_n}{5}=0.2a_n$ for all n>0, and $a_1=16$

HELP!!! Use the factor Theorem to determine whether the binomial x+1 is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-

Dovator [93]

ANSWER

A. No because f(c)=-30

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is

$f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6$

If x+1 is a factor , then f(-1) must evaluate to zero.

$f( - 1) =2( - 1)^3-9( - 1)^2+13( - 1)-6$

$f( - 1) =2( - 1)-9( 1)+13( - 1)-6$

$f( - 1) = - 2-9 - 13-6$

$f( - 1) = -11 - 19$

$f( - 1) = - 30$

Since f(-1) is not equal to zero, x+1 is not a factor of

$f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6$

10. A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stand’s expenses for the day are $210. Define your variables and write an inequ

makvit [3.9K]

X : number of tacos they sell per day. ...... profit = y = 3.25 × x - 210 ......inequality. y > 0. so. x > 210/3.25 = 840/13 = 64. ......so the taco stand must sell at least 65 tacos for making profit.
